Everyone is deep enough into the season to play the comparative scores game. So when Colorado upended then-No. 9 Missouri last weekend, Colorado State coach Tim Miles again thought of the “might-have-been’s.”

CSU took CU into overtime Dec. 8 before falling 90-83 in Boulder. At the very least, the Rams played the Buffs much tougher than the highly ranked Big 12 team did.

While he still bemoans the loss to CU, Miles was nothing but happy to see yet another boost to the often-maligned Front Range basketball prestige.

“I’d like to congratulate Tad Boyle,” Miles said on Monday’s Mountain West teleconference. “That’s a heck of a win. Tad’s crafty, he’s an excellent coach and knows what it takes to win. Congratulations to the Buffaloes on that game. That was a good win.”

The Rams, meanwhile, get their first MWC road test Wednesday on the annual trip to The Pit in Albuquerque.

Also, you still have time to send Coach Miles a question as part of The Denver Post’s “Fan Mail” series. Email your question, by noon Wednesday, to fanmail@denverpost.com[1].
